Imagine one of those crime shows in which detectives have rigged a board with photos, names, mug shots, maps and sticky notes. A web of string wrapped around pushpins provides a visual connection between otherwise disparate clues.
Now try that exercise with pitching events in the past week. Stephen Strasburg retires. Johan Oviedo throws a 112-pitch complete game. Jordan Wicks makes his major league debut without ever having thrown 90 pitches in a professional game. Tony Gonsolin needs elbow surgery.

Before becoming the first player in MLB history to hit 30 home runs and steal 60 bases in a single season, Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. had some more important business to take care of.
Hours before Thursday night’s game against the Dodgers, Acuña and his fiancée, Maria Laborde, were married in an intimate ceremony at a chapel west of Los Angeles.
It was almost unfathomable.
A star Boston Red Sox player would be allowed to head to the New York Yankees. Surely, the Sox remembered one of the other times they allowed that to happen with a man named George Herman (For the youngsters out there, you may know him as The Great Bambino… Babe Ruth) .
And although Johnny Damon was nothing like the Babe, the fact of the matter is that in the early and mid 2000’s, the Red Sox – Yankees rivalry was as heated as it’s ever been.
Here’s a piece of advice for anyone out there – people only remember what you’ve done for them recently.
“You’re only as good as your last show,” Imus used to always tell us (or warn us) while I was part of his show at WABC Radio and Fox Business Channel.
So when it comes to the disaster that has been the New York Yankees’ year where – last place in the American League East despite such high hopes – it’s clear that something needs to be changed. Many reports say that manager Aaron Boone is all but gone after this season whether his fault or not.
Florida’s football season didn’t get off to an ideal start Thursday night, with the Gators losing 24–11 to a Utah team without its starting quarterback and looking sloppy in the process.
Coming off back-to-back losing seasons (the latter of which came under current coach Billy Napier), Florida looked ill-prepared for the opener.
A number of teams are fighting for playoff positioning, including three divisional rivals in the AL.
Steve Young shared some advice to the 49ers after they traded 23-year-old quarterback Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys.
Skip Bayless’s new version of the UNDISPUTED sports debate show on FS1 has been chaotic in its first week, as Richard Sherman, Michael Irvin and Keyshawn Johnson have provided a different vibe to the show. However, different is not always better, and one of Bayless’s competitors believes the show is headed in the wrong direction.
Former ESPN personality Dan Le Batard said Bayless is trying to stay relevant by adding as many outspoken personalities to the show as possible.
Given that we are living in the year 2023 where people can act offended by literally anything, it shouldn’t come as a shock that a hat with a ‘W’ on the front of it is getting quite the reaction ahead of this weekend’s Walker Cup.
Members of the U.S. team, the heavy favorite over their European counterparts this weekend, were spotted wearing hats with the letter ‘W’ across the front at St. Andrews on Thursday. A reporter actually asked what the ‘W’ stood for, insinuating that it stood for win, but U.S. captain Mike McCoy made it clear that it stood for “The Walker Cup.
Gilbert Arenas absolutely destroyed Rashad McCants for claiming his team in Lebanon would be competitive against NBA talent.
McCants was expected to be a major NBA player coming out of North Carolina in 2005, but failed to meet expectations. He had one solid season with the Timberwolves in 2007-2008 when he averaged 14.9 points a game, but was out of the NBA after just five seasons.
The former 14th overall pick then bounced around different foreign teams, and apparently truly believes Homenetmen Beirut in Lebanon could hang with an NBA team.
